Your consultation will occur in Board-certified Scottsdale plastic surgeon Dr. Shapiro’s comfortable office. During that appointment, he will review your medical history, discuss your goals and answer any questions you have about the procedure and recovery. He will also discuss the expected outcome, the details of your procedure, and the techniques used.
Patients are generally asked to stay overnight at the Paradise Valley Surgical Recovery Center. Here’s a look at what to expect as you recover:
Sutures are removed within seven to ten days after surgery.
Patients can comfortably socialize for approximately two weeks after surgery.
Minor bruising and swelling typically resolve in two to three weeks, although this varies.
The results of the procedure can last anywhere from seven to ten years. When maintenance is desired, it is often just tightening in the cheek area. You will continue to age after surgery, but you will typically look five to ten years younger than you would have if you did not have the procedure.
How long will the surgery last?
How soon can I return to work?
What technique is best for me?
Should I get a surgical or nonsurgical facelift?
What about wrinkle fillers and relaxers over facelift surgery?
Will my results look natural?
How long before I can exercise again after a facelift?
Does insurance cover a facelift?
Should I get a necklift with my facelift surgery?
This procedure generally takes four to six hours to complete.
Most patients return to work within 2 weeks of a rhytidectomy.
The best technique depends on factors such as your goals and anatomy. Dr. Shapiro will help you determine which technique is best suited for your needs.
Surgical facelifts provide more extensive and long-lasting results, while nonsurgical options offer temporary improvements. Patients will ultimately have to think about what their long-term goals are.
Wrinkle fillers and relaxers can complement facelift results by targeting specific issues like wrinkles and lines. Contact our office to learn more about these treatments.
Dr. Shapiro always aims for natural-looking results, tailored to your individual features and desired outcomes. Patients will have the opportunity to go over the details of their treatment beforehand to ensure that the results fall in line with their ideal look.
It is generally recommended that patients wait about 2-3 weeks after a facelift before gradually resuming exercise. Our office will provide you more information about this during the consultation.
Insurance does not cover elective cosmetic procedures such as facelifts
Combining a necklift with a facelift can provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing both the face and neck area. Patients should consult with Dr. Shapiro to find out if they are good candidates for a necklift.
